SAVING LIVES TO BE AN EASY WAY
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, with the development of the society, peoples living standards is raising, more
and more person pay attention to the security of life. Sometimes, especially the old man,
when you are in an emergency situation, how long would you want to wait? I thought that
the process communicate from patients to a hotline until to a response unit is too slow and
there are many hoops for patients to jump through who need critical help. We provide a
faster and shorter autonomous system which called panic APP. You download the APP and
upload your medical profile, when you get an emergency, hit the panic button and your GPS
and medical information will be sent to the local response unit. With this APP, we hope you
can get the help you need that much quicker. Ultimately, saving time and lives.
3. BUSINESS SECTION
3.1 Vision
To be an easy used emergency APP and provide a faster and shorter autonomous system
software to help people save lives.
3.2 Industry Analysis: Accident And Emergency APP Industry
Industry: Accident and emergency APP industry. The panic APP belongs to accident and
emergency APP industry, because its an APP and its goal is to quickly response to the
patient when they get emergency or accident and help to provide a network between the
panients and the amulance servive provider as soon as possible
Force: High/Low: Justification:

Aid.(AppsGoneFree,n.d)
Supplier power: Low The supplier power is low as it is not very difficult
to creata a new APP. There are many IT
companies can provide the technology supporting
to our Panic APP. We can choose from any top
100 IT service company, such as
IBM.(servicestop100, 2009)
Threat of new entrants: Low Threat of new entrants is low because the
barriers to this industry are considerably high due
to patients may do not easy to trust a new APP
when they get emergency, such as medical profile
is kind of personal private. It also have some
technological barries for a new software.(Dans,
2013)
Threat of substitutes: low There is no many substitutes except simply call
111, although they can let other people drive
them to the hospital. As we all know patients
have to ask an ambulance service when they get
an accident, no one wants to lose life.
Rivalry among existing
competitors:
High Rivalry among existing competitors is fierce as
there are many emergency APP might have a
goodwill.(Hopkins, 2013)
Overall attractiveness of the industry: According to the porters Five Forces Model, we can
say that this industry is attractive. Although it is not easy to enter the market due to some
barries. There are still many potential customers in this market. However with a good

planning (create competitive advantage)and sufficient investment, our product will
generate good profits and more people will know it.

The customers would essentialy be those people who use a smartphone, especially focus on
people who are doing hazardous works or have some serious diseases(such as heart
disease).
The needs of customers are a faster and shorter autonomous system to provide ambulance
service. They want quick responses from the hospital when they are in emergency, they
want to get help as soon as possible.(PA, 2014)
3.4 The Product and Service
PANIC APP is the appllication which can provide a network between patients and big
ambulance service companies, such as St Johns .

local response unit. We are re-structuring the process to provide a faster communication to

tips to our users.
3.5 Suppliers and Partners
Our main supplier would be a moblie app development company, such as supplier Apps,
LLC. They serves manufactures, suppliers and sales reps by developing extremely useful
moblie apps (supplierapps.com). However as technology society develops, there are will be
more similar companies available for choose. The other potential supplier would be an IT
equipment company to provide supplies for us.
Our partner will be the amulance service provider company, such as St Johns. They are
providing amulance services throughout New Zealand and it seems they also provide some
other different kinds of services, like first aid, event medical service etc. They have a good

Fiistly, the competitive scope is broad market, because the software application can be
applied for a wide range of people, from all ages, occupations, race etc. Anyone who want
to save lives when they meet emergency. Nowadays, smartphone is very popularly and
generally.
For the cost strategy, it is not very expensive to create an APP. We would like charge a little
bit fees when they download our panic APP, we dont ask annual fees in the future. People
can use it with less cost.
The overall strategy is therefore Cost Leadership.

Our product which is a software system APP, we provide a faster and shorter connection
service between the patients and the local unit. And we will track the following situation
